Brad, I went to a volleyball game last night. Bump. Said. Time it. Nice. It was so quiet in here that I heard you switched to your camera. Do you know the positions of a volleyball team, Timon? Oh, man.

No way. No way does he know one? All right. Shut up. Oh, shut up. You're a ghost star's listener, so you knew that one. Setter works. Spiker, bumper.

Is there... Honestly, that's the only one I'm very... Oh, no, I know the fancy one. Is there a... This is... Yeah, I just know a sport... A sport position for some sport is like a forward, I think. That's not a bad guess.

Before it does make its way in a lot of sports. Can we... Not volleyball. Okay. Can we take a step back time and do you think you could name 10 positions of any sport? I don't want to claim that at all.

Actually, no, there's no... I mean, you could. Any sport. And when you're done with this, you have a right to quiz me and something that I won't know anything about. Yeah, right. So that is coming, but for now, indulge us. In baseball, can you think of any?

Okay. Catcher, pitcher. Yes. Hey, hey, hey, hitter. No, it's not going to be one. You're not going to get that. Well, hitter is a position. You're in, but you're going to need like a word before it, an adjective for the hitter.

No, but I'm saying a different sports position in the hitter, right? Oh, yeah, for volleyball. For volleyball. There's a hitter, right? Yeah, outside hitter. Yeah. Okay, so three. Hitter, good job.

You knew that. Is there like, would you just say first baseman, second baseman, third baseman? Yeah. Yeah. There you go. Baseball's easy. Okay. Fourth baseman, fifth baseman, six baseman.

Here we out. Outfield guy. Outfield guy. Outfield guy. Which part? Stage. Angels. Angels and the outfield guy.

It can happen. The guy who does this. It can happen. That might be. where, I mean... Stage was a good... Yeah, stage. We're an outfield guy.

What do you mean? He's stage. Did I say stage? I said stage to kind of like try and give you a clue. Where are you in the outfield? I'm stage. Well, if you want to come watch me in my play tonight, I'll be on... I want to get tickets over here because I'm stage.

Stage up, stage back, stage left. Are you kidding? We're trying to use it. I think you said stage. Huh? No? Left fielder, right fielder, center fielder is baseball, outfield positions.

All right. So football, you know some football positions. You're at six right now. I'm at six of what? Wait, you have six positions total. You need four more. Oh, we didn't all have to be baseball. No, no, no, no, any sport.

Okay, okay. Football. Quarterback. Yeah. Of course. Receiver, kicker. Yeah, that's 10. Yeah, yeah.

You nailed it. Good job. You only had to use one volleyball one. What are your volleyball positions? I know setter now. I forgot, or I mean hitter. I forgot about hitter. And then Libero.

Yes. or as my uncle John would say, I don't remember much about volleyball, but I know one's called the libretto. The barrette. Jeez, that's close to a few of a words. Yeah. Is there, I honestly don't, back, is that what they call it?

A back, back, back, back, backer. Back, back, border back. Linebacker. Dineback. Greenbacks. For like, old miss. Yes, they were like, greenbacks. They don't call them servers, right?

Like, it's not. They don't. Because, like, that's just a. rotating thing like you're not a server i've heard rachel talk about like every now that you have someone on your team who's like a serve specialist who sounds like a pinch hitter or something like that rachel said it's the worst position to be because it's like hey you you know you've been sitting out for 15 minutes going and serve in this crucial spot like a three point specialist sometimes i think the same thing like let's bring kevin pritchard in and he's white and can't really play

defense but he can shoot like okay corner and hopefully he gets lucky right yeah i felt the same way in baseball when i was asked to pinch hit or even pinch run i was so service to pinch run. It's pretty much only bad things can happen. We're going to be like, good job running from home from second. Like he's going to steal. Yeah.

Everyone knows it. Like, yeah. Okay. Those are the ones I know though. Back center mid. That's like base or soccer term. Yeah. I think maybe what you're looking for,

like a girl who's at the back who's just like digging would be like a defensive specialist. Okay. Which is pretty wordy for all the other volleyball, like cool words, I feel like. They don't call her Nintendo DS. They used to. And then once they kind of,

Like, once they got the Wii and the Switch. There's no Wii. There's no, there's no, there's no 64 Libero. There used to be. I mean, that was all in the past. Yeah. Anyway, a lot of things, a lot of observations from volleyball site. It was the NCAA Final Four.

It's in Kansas City. I saw a billboard for this. And I thought, Rachel would love that. She did. She said, we have to go. I almost told her and I was like, she knows. Like, it's one of those things where it's like, hey, Jake, did you know there's a pickleball movie coming on a lifetime? like he knows he knows i don't have to tell him you know what i mean every once in a while it's

like you get 18 people sending you this thing thinking there's no way there's no way brad's seen this yet it's like like if for some reason the office and nbc did like a woodworkers collaboration i probably wouldn't need to send that to you i bet you're going to find out on your own right yeah did you know that ron swanson is in shawnee kansas doing a woodworking convention it's like i actually did that's one of the things i do know like those things those been diagrams yeah coincide pretty well but yeah um so yeah she was like we should go i mean it's a final force the last time we'll watch two games so i mean got there at 530 left at about 1045 a lot of things i noticed i think the one thing i want to start with this quick intro we're doing

just this real quick snappy intro quick you know that would get into the episode i asked rachel this question and we didn't really know what the answer was because i'm just staring at the male cheerleaders for women's volleyball question yeah are they all male about half and half about five and five small team five ladies five men and are we talking yell leaders or cheerleaders because a and m was there oh we can't talk about that later yes we can but i'm talking about like are we talking about beefy guys that played football in high school or people that are like i want to be a cheerleader but i'm a boy oh okay okay You know what I'm saying?

Like, are we talking big, big thing? Hey. You know, like, they make those noises. Like, you don't know what I'm talking about? Like, like, why do you think they're not speaking English? No, they are, but you can't understand them with those things. Like, they're like, like, let's say like Northern Iowa, the Panthers, they'll be like, too, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.

It's all you hear is like this bass. like, Poo do, do, dude, meanwhile, Scott's in the dance,

do we got Shazam this dude. Yeah. Who is this? The base sounds so good. Uh,

uh, oh, ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some

random thoughts in white me too then West best friends eating fast food on repeat so come

along, let's have some fun and go ahead get on your feet because it's a ghost from this podcast podcast

everybody in morning you're taking ground ghost ghost Go for a podcast. Okay, but let's talk about the cheerleaders. So I guess what I'm referring to would be the do, do, do, do.

Yeah, you're describing. Like the guys that, like, lift the girls up. Yes, their wrists are all taped. Their wrists are all taped. But I wouldn't describe them as beefy high school football players. I would describe them as just like a guy who looks like me with his wrist taped. Seriously? Yeah, kind of.

I mean, maybe a little stronger than me, but regardless, yes, that kind of paints the picture, just like a normal looking guy. Okay. The question is, what are the steps to becoming a male cheerleader? I know. That's a great question because they're into it. And you know who would know. We have a ghosty.

Olivia works for KU, athletic trainer. And, yeah, she worked with like the cheer and dance teams there. She got the inside scoop. She was one that gave my dad and I those, like, tickets right next to the student section that one time. And so, yeah, I don't know. Yeah, they do. KU. You.

Hey, you. Let's go. You know, in video editing, there's something I'll do sometimes. It's called a low-pass filter. That's exactly what that is. That's what's happening. Sorry, quick sidebar. Catherine sometimes, dude.

And it's one of those things I've never voiced to her privately, so I should probably just voice the frustration publicly, even though it's, this is a small thing. That's why I've never voiced it. Yeah. Catherine, every once in a while, when she's trying to get somebody's attention or trying to talk loud, we'll do this. And I believe that it actually is less effective. You think it's harder to hear? She's trying, well, because she's not, like, if I'm looking at timing and timing and time and time and time and time, like, I'm like, time and time and time and, like, she's, she's trying to get Bo's attention,

you know, downstairs or, you know, around the, around the house. Bo. Bo. And it's like, you don't need to do this. And for whatever reason, like, kind of like what we talked about, timing with the really loud music on the phone and how it is not as, like, appealing to your ear

as, like, just a vibrant yell. Like right now, hey! Fine. Hey! I don't know. There's something about it. I just, I hate it every time she does it. So,

whatever that thing was called, Lofi beats. Bo, Bo! Dinner. dinner, go, go, mac and cheese, cheese. We should. Hey, boom, fool. Like calling the pigs in.

Yeah, we're just trying to figure out, like, and not, like, trying to poke fun of them. And I'm like, just, I can't stop, can't take my eyes off them. Right. I mean, they're just so into it. Right. Yes. You know, it's like what, but they're not, they're not like very, they're not like flamboyant. It's not an obvious gay path.

No, that's what I'm saying. Like, well, and a lot of the guys that I'm, that I see at KU games are huge. Like, they're like, they're like, they look like they were weightlifters. Like, yeah. That just maybe didn't want to play football or something. Yeah. Maybe weren't good enough, but we're strong enough or something. Like, so what is the path?

How do they get there? I don't know. And maybe there's a scholarship. I mean, it's like, hey, $1,500 bucks a month. Yeah. Go look up girl's skirts. They do, dude. They do.

They do. I was noticing that too. They're always like, I got to make sure you got you. I got you. I will, I got you. I got you. It's like, I mean, yeah, I was, of course you do. So that's, that's also a piece of the pie. It's like, I don't think they necessarily are gay, flamboyant. No, I don't think so either. Like, let me adjust your skirt. This is more like, let me look up that skirt. Right. Like, where'd you buy your skirt versus like, yeah. Anyway, I, uh, Rachel's best theory was that it has to be, um,

it has to be part of, like, the family business. I think it's like, well, my dad was a male cheer leader. Maybe. His dad was a male cheerleader. I grew up, I grew up being exposed. Because every once in a while, it's like, how in the world did you hear about that? Yeah. Like, how'd you get into that thing?

Like, it's just like, it's the family thing. It's like a cycle of abuse. It's hard to get out of it. Once it, once someone starts it. That's exactly what I was connecting it to do. It's very hard to get out of that cycle. Yes. Mail cheerleading is the exact same thing.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Once you get in it, there's no amount of meetings. Or it's just, I mean, you're just interventions. Interventions, yeah, new friendships. Just, you're going to be a male cheerleader. How many, how many, like what, they bring the whole squad, you think? Or you think it was like, I mean, this is a final four, but also it's volleyball. So is this like, is this the B team from basketball?

Right. I don't know. Because what schools were there? A and M. We had A&M. We had Kentucky. We had Kentucky hated their mascot. I had a bone to pick with the Wildcat there.

I just knew he was smirking under that wildcat. He was smug and arrogant. Yeah, he was. I could tell. I could tell the faces he was making underneath. I didn't like him at all. Okay, he's just a sassy cat. They would do some like little broadcas, hey, we want to honor it's a timeout.

Hey, so-and-so who was on the U.S. Olympic volleyball team, she's here in the building with us. Like they're doing a quick little three-minute little interview, whatever. And he's in the background. This huge, like, wildcat is like back there, like flexing, doing this. Kind of like the girl from Beast games, Tana or whatever. Yeah, he's like doing that in the background. He's doing this a lot. Get this wild cat out of here, dude.

He's annoying me. I know he's smirking under there. I know he's smirking. I think I do agree sometimes. They do twice as many motions as they need to. Like I'm not opposed to them like being in the background being like, let's go. You know, but then just stand there for a second. And maybe again, just be like.

It's like a constant cycle of motions. Yeah, it's like, yeah, nonstop. I'm like, stop. I'm just looking at you now. I'm not honoring the Olympian. Okay. So we also had Wisconsin.

Wisconsin. And we had Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh was my team. You know, Pitt. Panthers. Yeah. You know, Olivia Babcock. You know, she's a girl.

She transferred there? Yeah. NIL deal? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Those are the teams. Not to be confused with Glasscock.

Yes. He is running another turkey trot right now. falling over. Okay. But yeah, the cheerleaders definitely got my attention. Wildcott got my attention.

Dude, you would have loved, I'm going to send you guys a video. So they, I would have loved to just like hear your guys' thoughts on this.

So they, very early on in the game. So I went with like a crew of just ladies. I was kind of looking like in the middle cheer leader, to be honest. Yeah.

But it's like just some girls that Rachel played college volleyball with and whatnot. And so it was great because any time I have a question. Yeah. a myriad of people who can answer for me but also when certain

like maybe cheesy or dorky things would happen I'd go this is your sport this is your final forum namely one of them being like when we first sat down they're like all right we're going to teach you guys something tonight I want everyone to raise their arms up

like you're a monster everyone in the crowd raise your arms up like you're a monster and when one of these teams has a big block we're going to say monster block and then you do this to say like there was a Monster Block. Yeah.

Okay. First, Monster Block happens. What do you know? Over the loudspeakers, they've got a song. They, like, made a song. It was the block. It was the Monster Block. It was the Graveyard Spot.

Is that what it was? A parody would have been nice. This is like, they went and hired someone, like, to make themselves a Monster Block ringtone, I guess. You know, it's about an eight-second song. Oh. And as dorky and as cheesy, and as embarrassed as the girls were, and as I felt it was,

I got to give them credit. It got the people going. Oh, really? Everyone, both sides. Wisconsin, Kentucky, I don't care. Everyone's like, yes. Really? The monster block.

Oh, so, like, the whole stadium did it. Everyone's doing it. Who care? Like, it's like, I don't care if that's my daughter that just got it in her nose bleak. Her nose is broken right now. Boom!

Yeah, it was like, I, eventually I couldn't keep making fun of it. It's like making fun of the Fasted Furious movies. It's like, yeah, these movies are terrible. Meanwhile, while the ninth one's making billions. At a certain point, you have to say, job well done.

Everyone's loving this. Anyway, I sent you a video. We'll put it on the screen now. This is right after a monster block. I pulled my phone up. Yeah, the guy in front of you. He kind of going more wrist.

You're not going to get a lot of blocks that way. That's great. Did you get into it? Yes or no? I think like games. point of the final night was like just give in we're all like yeah absolutely i would too um yeah monster block that was that was too bad i was like pickleball never do anything this cheesy oh yeah i can't imagine pickleball being cheesy like this but man i just i'm so curious like

who thought of it what was the room like what were the ideas they turned down or like instead we need monster monster monster monster block dude that's a really well there was a lot of people here like almost the whole who sold out 18 000 sold out yeah oh wow yeah we're We'd get our tickets on, like, you know, seat geek or something. Like, you couldn't get tickets. Nice. That's all. And that was what Nebraska losing.

If Nebraska would have made the Final Four, it would have a mega sold out. Dude. Yeah. Who ended up winning? Wiscoe. Bage. Wiscoe badge. Yeah.

Wisconsin won the first set, like, 25 to 12. Unheard of in the Final Four. It'd be like, you know, 100 to 40. And do you play three set, best of three? Best of five. Best of five. I didn't know. I'm sure Timon did, but.

Right. They dominated the first. game end up losing the match so kentucky and a and m are in the finals oh everyone loves when a and m wins things that's what i've gathered from everyone that's not a andm and i guess it's worth mentioning that yeah this happened a long time ago we're recording this episode in the middle of summer we put this up just for fun no it's just uh we're getting ahead of we're going to be gone for christmas yeah that's true we should do some more like evergreen content like i like i have something to say that's evergreen okay how about that weather how about that weather um

I was cold this morning. Chiefs are probably not going to win the Super Bowl. Chiefs. They would be the first team to win the Super Bowl who didn't make the playoffs. Never say never. That's the beauty of sports.

Is that like you just have to believe? We don't know if there's going to be like a pandemic or something that's only hits Houston. Yeah, we need a sub. It could happen. We just didn't angels in the outfield. Evergreen content from us last week.

No, this past week, whatever day it was. We went Hattie, Catherine and I. My parents came over for dinner, and we surprised Hattie. Like, we're like, had to eat quick because we got to eat quick. And she's like, why don't I have to eat quick? So we got to go. Eat, eat, quick. Oh, oh.

And we surprised Hattie and took her to the Aztec theater down here, downtown Chani, to watch. It's a wonderful life. She'd never seen it before. She'd been one to see it. And we saw that it was showing here. So the three of us went while my parents stayed back with the other kids. So let's talk about that because, I mean, it's Christmas season still. while we're recording this, right?

Or while people are listening to this in January. Yes. So let's talk all about It's a Wonderful Life. Okay. Like the Evergreen version of It's a Wonderful Life? Yeah. Honestly, though, ever, talk about Evergreen. That movie, have you seen it?

Yeah. I still haven't. Oh my gosh. Okay. I know. You guys. No, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no.

No, no, no, I don't. Guys! What? Loser, loser, monster. Monster, loser. This is only, honestly, I think it's only my second time. seeing it. Okay. And I was kind of surprised. Like, I definitely have seen this movie. The first time I watched it was in our current house. So we've, I've seen it in the last seven years. And it was

kind of unbelievable how much I did not remember about that movie when I saw it the second time. Okay. So it was like I was watching it for almost the first time. Like I knew the general idea of what's going to happen. And yeah, I was like, oh my gosh, I didn't, I don't remember any of this. I don't remember the story. I didn't understand whatever. Um, did you cry? So, much, dude. Dude, I've heard. Like, to the point where I was like, am I, like, obviously making a scene right now? Am I male cheerleader?

Dude. Do I get my wrist tape? Talk about an evergreen, like, that is, I understand why people are like, it's the best movie of all time. It's, it's unbelievably good. And it's, it's good no matter when you, like, yeah, what year is. I should have gone. I'd like to watch it in a theater.

It was awesome. It was sweet. Well, it's evergreen. I could probably find a theater right now when this episode comes out. That's showing it. Surely, right? You would think, right? had he was the youngest person there by far really you know that's awesome but it was sweet i mean

people clapped at the end you know it was yeah because it was the same theater that we recorded grande boo podcast episode in so it's like yeah you know smaller little theater fun because it's like hey you know when this movie came out this theater was you know young kind of thing or like whatever so kind of fun to think about um but it was sweet man it was yeah just everything about that movie is like so good yep and just makes you yeah of course like you think about perspective of life totally different. Kind of like the filthy rich and things that matter kind of idea. But, um, so okay, but funny story from it.

So we go, we thought the movie started at 6.30. So we're like hustling to get there. It ends up starting at seven. That is like the most rare thing for my family to ever be is early to anything. And so we like, like, like, like, Catherine and I are like, should we like, you know, our personality's like, we should, we should go run errand or something. Catherine's like, what if we just like got there early? I was like, that'd be awesome.

you want to do that? I'm down for that. So we did this thing. We had a conversation. It was crazy. Like while one of you was scrolling? I don't understand. No, no. No, no, no phones out. Just sitting there talking. Haddy brought a book. She read that for a while, which is classic. And then before the, we got like, you know, we got Shirley temples. We got kettle corn. We got, you know, all the fixings and everything. And then how he's like, hey, I need to go to the bathroom. Great. She's going to go to the bathroom beforehand. And Catherine comes back. And she's like, look what was on Hattie's button that she's been wearing all day. So earlier that day, Catherine and the kids went to Target, I believe. And while they were checking out, this woman was like, do you guys want a free little gift here? And there are all these little, you know, Christmas buttons, you know, you can like put on your, like, pins. That's what they thought. Target, you know.

And no, and I'd seen a few of them. And I think they said, baby, it's cold outside or something like that. Controversal song. So this is the one there. A little show and tell. Yeah, I brought it. Brad's favorite things. This is the one that Hattie has been wearing all day long.

Go ahead and read this for us, Jake. Yeah, no problem. So my eight-year-old daughter. Yeah. Proudly displaying. I can't. I can't. I can't say that. Yes, you can.

Not in the context of your daughter, too. Yes, you can. I just wasn't expected. Isn't that wild? All right, all right. I'll read it, but I'm not going to say the full sentence. I'm not, I'm not. All right, here's this pin I found.

Here's this random pin I found. I put out for Santa. What in the world, dude? So it's like, I put out cookies for San. Like, honestly, it looks like the poop emoji. Like at first man, so I was like, expect to see something like gross, nasty, like potty humor like that. And I saw just the top three words I put out. So, like, I think that after that Target run, they went somewhere else, maybe

to the grocery store and talked to people there, you know, they went, or maybe they had a haircut that after, like, they did all these, like, dent it, whatever, all these different things. And then my parents came over for dinner, you know? That's good. And yeah, oh, you got all these new pins, like, oh, that's so sweet. And none of us, like, I think all of a sudden together's like, look what has been wearing all day.

That was not what I was expecting. Holy cow. Isn't that wild? Yeah, that is crazy. Target's just passing those out to little girls. And maybe it wasn't like Target corporate. Maybe it was like this one cashier that's like, I'm going to be the fun cashier. I want to have like a fun, fun drawer, you know.

But just wild. What do you think some of the other pins were in this girl's drawer? I put out for Santa. Maybe it's cold outside. Nothing I can think of. Resting Grinch face. Oh, that's pretty funny. Pretty good.

Yeah, that's not too bad. Um, Ebenezer Boob. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Good. Oh, they, like, um, they want you to put, uh, like, the ornaments on the tree that they're

like the spherical shape, deck the balls. That's funny. I don't know. Yeah. I'm trying, Jake. No, that, you're doing good. It's hard to tow the line. It is.

It's okay to say this. Well, I wouldn't put it on a panel. Your mistletoe is showing. That's good. Um. Yeah, I'm pretty good. chimney. Maybe I'm just a pervert.

I don't know. It's problematic how easy it is for you. Yeah, I just wanted to say it was, it was really fun going to the theater to watch the movie and just the movie itself is just like, gosh. Like I was like, I was like, oh yeah, it's a good movie the first time I saw. I cried the first time a little bit. I think the older you get, the more it's like, holy cow, this is amazing. And like Jimmy Stewart's awesome.

Anyway, the whole thing was just so fun. And had he being there and like liking. it and laughing. It was kind of like a dark, not dark movie, but like there's like some serious, there's like suicide. There's like, oh wow. You know, like, it's like a heavier, like I was like, yeah, okay, it's good that Bo's not here. Right. You know, so. Every time I watch that movie, I kind of like, I'll get so invested in the story that I'll forget there's the whole like clearance part. I'm like, oh, what a great bonus. Like, right. Because I'm already like what's going to happen. I don't know. Like, I forget movies pretty often. I know the story,

but it's like, yeah, I like discovering things again. And I cry every time. Oh, it's so sweet. It's so good. Yeah, it's so timeless. Anyway, so. Time of your voice is gone. What happened? I don't know.

I woke up one day, feeling like maybe a little bit of a cold. Then by that night, I couldn't really talk or sing or anything. So still recovering from it. Wait, Isaac told me he went and watched a, was it a recital you had? Yeah. And watched his thing. Voice recital. Yeah, that's fun.

He said it was good. Yeah, it was fun. It was like all me and the boys singing our solos. It was super fun. Did Isaac just come by himself? Him and Briley. Oh, that's nice. Yeah, it was fun.

So you did solo? I did. Yeah, it was like... In English? All of mine was. Zax wasn't. Zax was Italian. Okay.

It was like a... But yeah, just all of Dr. Smith's voice and piano students just did their stuff. And it was super fun. Do you think Italian people do stuff in English a lot? That's a great question. And they just do like... Do you think Italian people are laughing at the songs that, like, people sing in English here? You know, like, what about...

Sorry. Sorry, other way. People sing an Italian here. Like, what about, like, some, like, I don't know. What's a good, like, generic, you know, song that, like, an Italian person, party in the USA, but it's, like, a classical version. So it's got a little Italian accent. So I put my hands up playing my song.

I think Europeans would like that because it's like, I put my Hans up. I put my Hans up. Yeah, it's like a German. Or the, yeah, Asian, playing my jong. Butterflies. Fly away. Yeah, that one's Asian-friendly. Notting my hips.

Oh, hips don't lie. That'd be like Colombian. Shakira. Do you have a good Shakira impersonation? I've never tried. You ready? Yeah. Give me a song without her.

Not her song. Give me. Okay. Don't stop believing. Don't stop. You got the tone a little bit there. That's fun. Yeah.

Just, no, I'm going to stop. All right. I feel like it's edging on. share. Yeah. Yeah. Powerful women. Gosh, two different sizes of the height spectrum there. Really? Sure. Big? I don't know. Actually, maybe I shouldn't judge and assume.

Bigger than Shakira, I bet. Yeah. Share height. I always get a lot of, every now that people make comments like about how my wedding was just the most emasculating thing anyone's ever been to because all the girls were so tall. You know, Some of people will just make comments about that and whatnot. I'll tell you, going to the final four volleyball is the same thing, too. A lot of tall girls. They had this, like, TV timeout where they're dropping Geico geckos from the ceiling, like with parachutes. Kind of fun little game.

Everyone's trying to get them. I'm surrounded by humongous girls. I didn't get any Geico Parachians. You're like, guys, let me get one. Please. Just one. I'm a little Nintendo DS. I can't get it.

Okay, Cher's super short. Not super short. She's 5'7. Celine Dion. Let's see. She seems tall, right? 5-7! These women are just big old singers.

5-7. 5-7? Guess a tall girl, and I'll see if you're right or wrong. 5-7 is not short as a woman, but like... Angelina Jolie gives tall vibes. I agree. Timmy, you'll be thinking one. I'm trying to.

Dude! All the tall girls are 5-7. That's wild. Zendaya? She seems tall. No, she seems tiny. She seems short to me. She seems younger than me, so they're four.

Five, ten. Pretty tall. I mean, how do you know this stuff, dude? I don't know, dude. Good job. Zendaya's taller than Tom. What's Tom Hardy? Billy Eilich told him.

What's his name, Tom? I don't know if she's taller to scary. You're scary, you seem taller. Billy Elish? She seems. Tom Holland's a 5-8 little guy. Billy Eil. Who else wants?

Comment below. I'll tell you their height. Billy Eilish. You thought she was tall. She's five foot three. scary for 5-3 though intimidating 5'7 I'm very

intrigued by these women that I thought were tall they're 5'7 not that that's short by any means but that's like I think because isn't the average 5-4 for girls I think so it's like taller here's something I know I was telling Catherine was like I don't know obviously anybody's height like she's like yeah she's shorter than I am

I was like she is I don't I don't recognize those things I don't you don't see height I never have yeah it's probably safe in the right side of history the height side of history height side of history anyway had he puts out for santa cookies cookies that's evergreen john hancock um my third grade uh teacher um other one more thing what do they all have in common uh white protestants Protestants. Also, they taught me cursive. What do I, they like cursive. When you think of

cursive, do you think of writing your name normally or do you think of writing it for signatures? You get where I'm going with this. I'm going for signature pest control. I'm getting the run at the signature. Signature. Signatures. Signatures. I think of signatures. I think of like a signature that you sign. Third grade. That's why I learned how to do a signature. And then once you got a signature, you could do a library card you could do a credit card i remember having so much debt during my third grade year oh yes just like realizing a small business loan oh i went nuts on that thing and they had a crazy and the interest became a pest yes dude oh i just wish i could just eliminate that pest and it all came from the signature the signature became the pest yeah i want to get my hands on it i don't want to control this

situation the signature and pests they go they go hand in hand they need to be controlled but you know what signature pest yeah once i stopped signing my signature i'm trying to figure out how to i don't i was gonna just just just just do it just do the signature pest control thing guys i'm trying to figure out like hey once you got the signature out of the way like if i stopped signing for new credit cards as a fourth grader it took me a year but then once i stopped signing once i got the signature When signature came, life got a little greener. There were pests. When signature went away, there was no more pests in my life.

Because you controlled them. Right? Yep. That makes sense? The signatures were the wolf spiders. The credit cards were the mouse in the house. The reverse mortgage that you signed. In order to get my speedboat.

Yeah, I had 11 years old. Yeah. Was the creepy crawly critters. Uh-huh. And don't forget about the, oh, just the polarized sunglasses. The polarized sunglasses were the daddy long legs that did have a big enough mouth to bite you. Scary, dude. That's scary. I think the point is clear here.

Yes. Look before you sign anything. Right. And get a pest control company. Yes, absolutely. That's what we've always said. Those two things, we can't emphasize that enough. It's the new year, same old pest.

That's right. Signature pest control. It's signature pest pro.com. Promocodes GRC. Tell them the ghost he sent you. Check out their website in our link in description. If you're in the Salt Lake City area, they would love to come out and do a great job,

I've had a kind of a crazy week. It's been a very fun week, but just because it's pre-Christmas, we're in the sprint to, like, get a bunch of stuff done. This is my eighth podcast of the week. After this, we'll record my ninth podcast of the week. Nathan Coley's been in town

got to be moving here Can I say that? Nathan's going to be moving here in like a month So he moved in some of his stuff This week and came and has been like helping out With Isaac and Briley Read the room And well okay

So here's what I'll say A few different things It was fun to Coley came over So we could like work on Because he's been editing a lot of Friday stuff for us So we've been like Working on a video together

And a few things happened one is you know how like you never notice how smudged your screen is until someone's looking at it you know kind of metaphorically and truly yeah like that's I feel like that's just always happening right um I feel like Coley didn't realize how slow his computer was until like we're both trying to kind of edit on it and then he's getting the pinwheel and he's sorry it's just kind of slow again and then what starts to

happen is much like I was bullying time at about two weeks ago about his lack of technology I'm just letting Nathan have it just like, dude, you got to get a new computer. Really? You got to. I'm a professional. And I'm waiting on a pinwheel, dude. Come on. Yeah. And so, yeah, even 30 minutes end, he's like, you're right. I'll get a new computer. That was more, Nathan. Well, he's exactly right. The episode, like, two weeks ago or whatever it was, when Timon was being called out. I was like, I'm being called out too. Yeah, this is pretty much me. I'm not going to get into technical stuff. Technically, I'm editing off a hard drive, not an SSD.

Oh, there's one issue. That could be slowing. it down, but Jake and I had a point where we thought we solved the mystery because I was like trying to delete five clips at once. And I was like, well, if I select all five, it seems to be going quicker, worked like five times in a row and then it didn't. So, I think just get a new, just throw this in the trash, dude. Do you think like a longer clip would take longer than a shorter clip? I'm not a technical guy, but maybe that would help. I don't even know at this point. I can't even, I can't even. It's tough to diagnose. Yeah. I don't know. I, I've got plenty of Facebook Marketplace listings saved with like

Mac minis. He really did. Yeah, I mean I've got monitors saved now too like following time and's footsteps. Oh yeah. I bullied time and into buying new technology as well. Oh it's been so it's been it's been good. Okay. This is good bullion. Yeah, it's good. It's working. I was kind hoping you would say no and then I could not do it but I put out for bullying

I. How do you edit with a mouse? I'm like that's my biggest problem at all. I got a mouse for like 15 bucks and I'm like I'm not using this one bit really oh I feel like I'm so dex line what's the word dexterous dexterity arrest yeah dexterity I feel like I could just like get to where I need to go so much faster with a mouse well I'm pinched and pull over my left hand and clicking everything I knew with you zooming in and out of your timeline with the left I think I just I probably just need to like practice that's yeah that's an acquired skill though so I can get more like

dexterity RS or whatever is that's the with my left hand because I I don't know I should try that but you see me a picture you got a nice curved monitor yeah I've never gone into the curved space before it feels pretty cool

I wasn't raised that way you go curve what do you think you're straight yeah sorry I'm back on the mouse thing I don't know if you need one for video editing as a non video editor okay I think it's more like a designer thing

like yeah like if you're doing thumbnails and stuff I can see like you know dragging and trying to get like specific areas really tightly, I don't know. Yeah, also like whipping around. That's crazy that Jake's doing two-handed on though. That's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like, I just have my speed, my, my cursor, like, super fast. So I can just whip over, it's like, oh, your finger whipping.

Yeah. Yeah. Elbow whipping. I was going to say, you can still be pretty precise with the track pad. Yeah. Yeah. If anything, I'm more precise with that, because that sometimes the mouse gets stuck on the table and, like, on a sticky spot. Sure. It's, it's, it's, uh, speed versus. is precision, I think. So let us know in the comments what you would like us to review next.

I'll say I bullied Nathan for about three days straight and it's working. He's going to buy some new stuff. Good. Eventually. And then I feel like especially the first day that we worked together, Nathan got to see firsthand just like every 15 minutes someone needing something from my phone. And that was the opposite where like I don't notice it until someone else is seeing it. I'm like, I might be too accessible.

I think I'm too available for people every 15 minutes, someone needs something. that's the truth man and so i'm going to work on that i don't know what to do but i need to figure it out um i mean if you just like silence you know your phone like to put in work mode or something or put in the other room or something i guess that would solve it just brick dude ever heard of it but sometimes it's like i know that that's they need i know that's an answer on something that's the issue and like that's i do and that's the hard thing of like there's always going to be a what if scenario so it's like is it worth it yeah yeah like while we were there I get like a FaceTime call from our, you know, Friday CEO.

And he's like, hey, should we offer her $100,000 or $150,000? I got to make a call on that, right now. Nathan, hang tight real quick. Let me just act like I know how to make this decision. All right, I'm back. All right. We're going to get rid of the money. But wonder if that could have happened an hour and a half later, you know.

Yeah. Brad, when you break, are you breaking messages? Like texts? Okay. No, I'm not psycho. I have church mode, which is like, brick would be a solution. Which is like literally bricking everything, I think, that I can.

Yeah, yeah. But I've never used it. It's like a setting on there, but I don't think I've ever really used it. Because like, there's certain things. It's like, I need to utilize this, you know, in some sort of emergency or whatever. Like, or if Catherine needs to text me or like a phone, like I'm not going to break my phone message or phone app. So one of the more fun interruptions I got during that time was Time and's friend Zach. Hey, what's up, Jake?

Do, do, do. Yeah, Zach is a yell leader, dude. Yeah, whatever path he's taking, he might be on it. Yeah, I could definitely do that. That's not really fun, actually. He texted me and said, Hey, boss, they use a fun. No, it just got straight to the point.

Okay. What if I move in for the month of January? Okay. He's really trying to just, first month free, though. This is where we're headed. So first I just want to clarify, I said, just one month, question mark. You want to move twice in the span of third.

days. And he said, for the boys. I said, love it. Dude, that sounds awesome. That's great. As a reminder, $800 plus utilities. He responds back, no wiggle room. Firm? Firm? Firm on that? And I said, what would be the, I'm willing to give him a chance to pitch himself. Like, hey, I'll hear him out. What would be the reason to be giving you a lower price than everyone else? because you admire my respect and hustle. His respect. I said, dang. You admire his respect.

You respect his admiration. I said, dang, I just checked the lease agreement and turns out hustle gets you zero dollars off right now. Sorry, man. Bummer timing. And he said, worth a shot. Worth a shot for the boys. So is he moving in still? And then the next text right after Worth a Shot was, I'm like mostly sure this is happening.

Good. That's the kind of, that's the kind of tenants you want. Yeah. Right. Hey, I'm probably good for it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm probably good for the 800 plus utilities. Yeah, yeah, I should make that work.

I should make that work. A couple gigs go my way. Yeah, define a month, by the way. What does that mean in your eyes? Do I clock in and out when I'm in the house? And then once I reach a month's work of hours, I pay? Like if I said January, you know, but I don't move until January 7th. Do I get until February 7th?

Define a month. Fair. Fiscal month, calendar month. February is a little bit of a shorter month. That doesn't really count if you only moves in then. So that's like probably like just free for that month. It's not a full month. So therefore I'm not. So that was fun.

That's great. Good chat. Good chat with Zach. Good stuff. Love Zach. However you see Zach these days, timing. All the time. Every day?

Not every day, but like he's just good at like he'll randomly call and be like, what are you doing? I'll be like, let's hang out. Like, I don't know. Or just, it's fun that we both kind of do the same jobs. We'll just like edit together. or something like that. It was fun.

No pinching. Yeah. He was over. I've been living at that house. I bench these girls. Yeah. I live with Isaac and Bradley and stuff, but I'm like moving out in like a month Oh, dude.

You're moving out though? Yeah. Because of elephant in the room? No, just because it's cost so much. Yeah. Whoa. And I understand Zach. No wiggle room for me.

What if you had somebody else that slept in the same bed as you, half price? Can't be Zach. Plus extra utilities. Plus. sack. If it can be Zach, then yeah. Yeah, not Jesse. Yeah. Got it. Your parents are going to charge you less than not what I was going to? Mm-hmm. 800 less, I think. Oh, that's a pretty good deal. And they firm on that? I asked. Dang, they're always freaking undercutting me, dude. It's so hard to be a landlord this day and age. No one has it tougher than landlords. The Imchpire. Yeah, they're,

they're just, they're, um, this is going to be good. What's his name on, it's a wonderful life, the bad guy. Clarence. Oh, Mr. Potter. Mr. Potter. They're the, they're the, they're, they're, they're, they're, It's going to be Amchville here at a second. Yeah, I pot out for Santa. There was a girl last night. Pretty good player at the volleyball game. Last name of Imsh. Really?

That's it. That's pretty cool. How many other Imshes do you know? None. That's got to be a relation, dude. Hit her up. All right, Cah. What up, Cah?

What up, Cah. Anyway, just saying how hard I have it these days. Yeah, I'm so sorry. I'll listen here, Mr. Potter. What do you say? Listen to hear, Mr. Potter. Yeah, give us some. I love how he talks in the movie.

I don't know. You know the moon, Mary? Is it like a transatlantic? Yeah, kind of. But like Jim Stewart specific. Like, he has this very extra, tell you what I'll do, Mary, I'll last for the moon. Oh, that's that thing.

Yeah. Okay. I think I've tried to harness that accent, not even knowing what I'm quoting. But that's, as we're walking into the venue in Dallas, when we're like, hey, what's the founding father of voice? We were all, like, testing out voices. And I was doing that.

I'm like, I don't think it's this. Listen here, see? It's zero, zero two. I think I'm a little too late. You're too modern. Too modern. That's what you've always been too modern. So, yeah, we never really landed on George Rorschner's accent.

Isaac went Neanderthal. He went too far back. That's right. George. Hey. I sign deck. I sign. I can't think of a one syllable.

paper. I signed sheet. I signed paper. That's good. I got a very fun, very full week. Even, you know, after today we get to this, we're doing like a Friday pickleball demo night. If you've ever wanted to try a Friday battle, come out with the Friday guys, try one. That'll be fun. And it's tried for that. Going to the movie theater. See? Oh. It's seeing a new movie. It's the housemate. It's a book

I read like a year ago. Love it. I told Rachel and I love the book. We told Molly and Calvin Beck like if you're into like these, you know, little girl thrillers, you'll love this one too. So we're all going to go see it together. Molly Beck sends us a screenshot yesterday. I was like, all right, I'm going to buy us like movie tickets. It's like only

No problem. No problem. It won't get picked up by the mic. I'll leave. Go back to him. Yeah. Molly said the screenshot. I was like, all right, it's only like the, if we want to go at 730, there's only tickets in the front row.

unless we want to sit here on the left side and I'm kind of looking at the screenshots she said I'm like the left side could this be a stage left stage right? I'm like I really don't see what she's referring to on the left side and then I realize she's talking about

we sit in a single file line where we're on four different rows that's pretty good that's kind of different than the book though right? You love that part in the book but a little bit hey get Calvin

he's four rows in front of me Get Calvin. I didn't think they'd have soccer in this. Is that accurate to how soccer is? That reminds me, that reminds me of you, dude. That reminds me of you up there. I was just telling, what Molly, no, I was just telling Calvin. No, Molly, get Calvin.

Can you pass the peanut M&Ms? You're allergic? These are peanut butter M&Ms. Sorry. Do we have both? All right, do peanuts fine, peanut's fine. Hey, I don't know if it's just a girl thing, but I have to pee, Do you want to go with me real quick?

This is a slow part of the book, so it's probably a slow part of the movie, too. Huh? I have to pee. Do you need to go? Oh, that's Cindy Sweeney. No, I've never heard or seen her before this. I was just lying to my wife

that I didn't know the hottest girl on the internet right now. Calvin, you're with me. You get it. She's not that hot, right? That's why I've tried to tell Rachel. Dude? That's my take. My take.

I do think that about her. Yeah, I agree. Really? Yeah. I remember... I still don't know who she is. Good for you. I wish I could partake.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. Gosh. I remember me and Zach were seeing a movie, and that trailer played before. And at the same time, at the end, we, like, turned to each other. And I was like, that doesn't look very good. He was like, that looks amazing. I was like, okay, well, does Zach like to sit single file with us tonight?

Maybe so. Okay. Is that where you end up doing? I texted back because, like, honestly, single file is kind of hilarious. I like the idea of being able to see... I want to sit single file, but I'm in the very back. I get to see everyone's reaction. That looks fun.

I mean, that seems like a fun. How much of a reaction? What reaction are you referring to? How would you? I don't know what kind of, I don't remember what kind of movie. I don't know if it's like, maybe some funny stuff. Well, I'm saying, just like, it's like, oh, that was scary. Like, you kind of get to like.

You think that you would be able to see that? Yeah. From four rows back. All of a sudden, Calvin gets scared. You think he's, whoa. All right, Brad, what, Brad, what emotion am I displaying? Okay. Um, just contentedness.

Oh. I was smiling as big as possible. Like, I am so happy with this scene. And I, yeah, it was the end. I was about to cry. So you were content. And I was content. Maybe I'm more of a, maybe I would,

am more moving when I'm expressing guys. Maybe like I should be in the front. People can see, I might be like, or I think I would just be inclined to like turn around and be like, right? Whoa, yeah. Just like the book. Have you ever been to a movie theater that's majority black people? I don't think so.

It gets out and it was awkward. I'm just kidding. it's awesome yeah i watched uh which is this is a funny one to go see like this but jango unchained which is like wow yeah like a comedy slash it's quentin tarentino so it's like somewhat comedy somewhat not but yeah these black people were into it they were oh they were yelling at the screen get it jango okay jango oh no oh no jango let's go jango I'm like, yeah. Like, this is wild that, like, they think this is, this part's funny.

This is not funny to me. I'm not, I don't feel like I can laugh at this. It's kind of a 4D movie. You get kind of an extra dimension of, like, how to interpret the movie. So maybe Tyman's just used to that. Yeah, maybe that's what he's talking about. Like, every time there's like a beautiful, like, like, like, wicked for good. He's like, he's like cheering like this.

Like, oh, Timon must really like this. I can see his arms going up. Oh, he's doing the monster block. He loves it. So he were doing that tonight. It'll be fun. be a full day. Okay.

I'm excited. I don't know when the last time. I watched a movie because I read the book. Holes, maybe? Hunger games. Hunger games by the last one, truly. Wow. I don't know.

Have you done that recently? Well, no, because I don't consume enough of either of them, to be honest. Yeah. It's hard when you don't really read and don't really watch movies. Still like that to be the case. I'm trying to think of if Anxious Generation has come out with a movie yet. I feel like all the books I read are like, nonfiction. Yeah.

I started reading the Don Treader Narnia book and I was like huh this is I was like not that far into the book and I was like I want to watch this movie again because I like grew up on the movie yeah but yeah not a great movie but great book though yeah I'm very slowly going through Narnia with Bo because yeah we've been doing an advent like reading every single night and so that's consuming

all our reading time right now but Bo knows every single word and like so it's like kind of fun but also like dude you know everything about this so anyway um okay i have a game uh coley needs to be back oh he's fine or like he's around he's here come on see he's here come on out come on up all right uh you would be it would behoove you to see the tv he sublime um okay timon uh how do i maybe play yeah you Yeah, exactly. So I use ChatGBTBT to make these slides. So it says trivia quiz, fun and diverse questions.

Oh, good. So the way this works, there's a game that I've seen a few times when I've gotten my oil changed. It's one of those games that's like, I bet no one has watched. Have you heard of the game split second? Where have I seen this? At the tire shop or something like that probably. Where have I seen this? Dude, yes, I feel like I've seen it in public on a TV.

Where would that have been? it's fun like the airport or something maybe it's fun oh at the back of a new i think it was in an uber i think you had it sorry i keep going where you get your oil change uh the times where i've seen split second was at jiffy loob but sometimes now i just go to the dealership you need to get to the old rental i just like having these conversations where how do we do that um just make sure i'm not missing out any new technology or anything you know it's all pretty standard you're missing out on this split second okay yeah this is this is the best part come out of a, you know, Jiffy Loob, quick, quick, uh, quick change. Um, so the way it works is

there's going to be three contestants, Timon, Jake. What's your name? Nathan. Um, what's your name forgot yet? Because you need to get out of here because you don't have a fast enough computer. Got it bullied. Yeah. Uh, and the way it works is there's going to be a question on the screen. And, and then there's going to be three options below it. So let's just do a sample question. Let's go to the first friend. So your hardware. Yeah, don't it. I don't know. I don't. I Yeah, chat JBT, BT like to title them all at the top and gave a little fine emoji. Okay, but the question would be presented first. So what type of computer hardware comes in this variety?

And then we go to the next slide. And I would say inkjet, CRT, QWERTY, okay? If you know one of the answers, you would ding in. Anybody? Oh, yeah. I know QWERTY. Ding. I heard Nathan first.

So go ahead. And you would say the answer or you'd say the option and then your answer. So you would say either, like, Cordy. I'll take inkjet. Inkjet printer. That's correct. And then right after that, Timon or Jake has to ding in. Okay?

Oh, ding. Yes, timing. Cordy, keyboard. Correct. Jake? Dude, I'm not bright. I didn't understand this at all until just now. Okay.

That's why we practice. It's my practice. CRT? Yes. Too slow. Too slow. It's split second. You got to guess something.

Yeah, what's CRT? Uh, anybody? Does it tell us. It does not. Oh, cool. Dad tells you. Anyways, dad. I don't.

It's a type of monitor, I believe. Oh, I have heard that. It's like a fast refresh rate, something like that. It's probably not curved, though. I think it's probably an old monitor title. Anyway. So all three of them are not the same category. Like, all three of them are different.

Well, they're all, what type of computer hardware comes in this variety? Yeah. But there's three answers. There's three answers. There's normally going to be at least one that's pretty easy, but you have to be the first one to ding in. Yeah. Okay.

And then, so the way you say it is you would say the answer or the options like QWERTY and then you say keyboard or inkjet printer. So how we ding in is saying, for example, QWERTY. No, no, no, you ding. You ding and I would call it. Okay, great, great, great. And the way scoring works is, let's just say there's 100 points for each question. Okay.

Good. That sounds good. If you're the only one to get an answer right, you get 100 points. Yeah. If you're one of two people, you get 50 points each. Got it. So, like, this time when Jake didn't get it, you guys would each get 50 points. Yep.

But if all three of you get it right, you only get 25 points each. Cool. That makes sense? Yes. So the, if you're the only one that gets it right, you get more points. And that is how you play split second. Yeah, split second. All right, split second.

You like that, Jimsy? All right. Next question, here we go. It is a Super Bowl halftime performers. Have these singers. performed at a Super Bowl halftime show. Mary J. Blyge, Garth Brooks, Tony Bennett. Please let me do it all the way through first.

Sorry, go ahead, finish. Mary J. Blyge, Garth Brooks, Tony Bennett. Ding, Mary J. Blige, yes. Mary J. Blige, yes. Ding. Yes. Garth Brooks, no. Garth Brooks, no. Ding, Tony Bennett. I'm going to say no.

No, I just, I just like, well, I do know their names.

I might as well see if it's one of the brothers. I'm going to say Orville did. That's correct. Oh. So do we give him 20 points for stealing? Or do we give him 25 points along with you guys? That's like he stole. I think so.

I think it's a steal. I'll be kind of ruthless on time right now, but. I chose the. Yeah, I'm giving you guys. 585 plus 50 equals 600 plus 35. The names of the brothers. Wilbur and Orville. Yeah.

You guys didn't know that? I didn't know the town. I was surprised. Yeah, town I had no idea. Kitty Hawk is awesome. That's a sweet name for a town. You didn't know that Orville and Wilbur? For some reason, I thought it was Robert and Orville. Oh, really? I was like so sure about Orville. And I was like, well, first I'll just guess Robert. All right.

Okay. So this is another thinker. So I'm going to try to explain it to you a little bit. So these describe palindromes. You guys know what palindromes are? Yeah. Their words this-mom, poop.

Homeowner's document? You get the title. You get it done? You get the deal. Close? A deed. Oh, deal.

Dang. So Jake gets 100 points, yes? It's too bad. Might have just won in the game. Unless I make some crazy rules here. All right. If you could talk to the world famous statue of David, how would you answer these questions?

785 plus 25. is 810. I don't know why that's, like when it goes to a new 100, it like trips me up, man. I get it. All right. Okay.

I think this one could be a, I'm going to, I'm going to read them off quick because you guys are going to want to ding quick. Okay. I only have one eye open. Who sang each of these songs that peaked at number two

on the Billboard top 100? Stay with me. Bad romance, work it. Ding. Bad romance, Lady Gaga. Correct. Jake, Jake's given a little bit of grace to Nathan who does not listen to music. Nope. Ding, stay with me,

Oh, that's worth it. Work at Rihanna. Also incorrect. Bang, bam, verse it. Oh, yeah.

Yes, I actually have one. It's a review, but it's via email. That was a good email one we got. Sophia. Yeah, we got one via. Sophia Musselman. She's, hi, my name is Sophia Musselman, and I'm from Central Illinois. Ooh, maybe knows your family time.

Yeah. I don't have Apple podcast, so I thought I'd use this opportunity to write a review, so I'll tell you how much the podcast means to me. I've been a fan of Ghost Run for two years now. It was the first podcast I ever listened to you, and will forever be my favorite. Sometimes I think my family thinks I'm crazy when they talk about me dying, laughing to your voices,

but I don't care. No one will truly understand how incredible this podcast is until they listen, and then they'll be hooked. You've been with me on bus rides to my games and the tractor on the beach while I'm supposed to be doing schoolwork and basically everywhere else. Despite all the changes in my life,

you guys have stayed constant, whether it's giving advice, expanding my knowledge in the most random areas or just making me laugh, it never fails. It's a small town girl. It opens up my world just a little bit bigger. I am an online college student, so I love feeling like I've gained three,

extra friends during a season of my life that gets lonely sometimes. It's always nice to hear from some fellow Chiefs fans. It's really special what all three of you guys have been able to create through a podcast. You've truly been a blessing for me and I appreciate your dedication to all the other ghosties. To all the ghostsies. Great email. Thank you guys for everything.

P.S. Timing, right there with you. Thank you, Sophia. That's so sweet. Always so encouraging. Awesome. I feel like I saw something similar to that come through where it's like I don't listen here. I know we got to comment, there's like, hey, I listen on Pod Bean. So I guess it's my only place to leave a review. I saw it in the Chick-Blay Drive there. I was like, that's so great to you listen on Podbean.

But now I can't find it. But I found some other comments. One, Bree Dow leaving us a Spotify comment about Facebook Marketplace. A lot of people were with you on the Clause thing. They're like, the Santa Claus. Like, dude, I thought we always spelled Clause this way. I feel like, all of America now spells clause as way because of this. I never thought about it. My review of the week is, I don't know if it's real or not. New segment. Is this legit or not? Sam says, I don't have Spotify. I consume this podcast by having my

Spanish friend listen to it and write it down and have AI translate it into English and then print it out as a newspaper to read. You think that could be real, though? Most likely, yeah. It's most likely real?

Yeah. Printed on newspaper paper? That's the part that kind of trips me out. Yeah. Like, where are you getting one of those printing presses? I mean, yeah, obviously, I believe he writes it all down. And in every episode. What's the name of the user? Sam T-Card. Sam T-Card.

Sam T-Card. A la Carde. T-Card. Oh, Stook your T-Card. So. Huh. That could be. That's probably real.

So thank you for that comment. That is so fun. Yeah. I love the idea of that. Show us how you do it if that is you. Mm-hmm. Sam T-Card does sound like a real guy. is the empty card?

Uh-huh. Sounds real. I believe it. No, thank you for all the comments. Spotify, YouTube, Podbean, everywhere. Nathan, what do you think of, uh, Casey? Now that you're a Casey guy, not just a Casey visitor. I mean, honestly, this week was so awesome.

Like, I've literally within 48 hours of being here, I was like, I feel validated in the decision to move here. Oh, really? Yeah. That's sweet. I mean. That's a good feeling, I'm sure. I knew, like, before.

moving here like ghost friend's community is going to be cool and like super supportive there but just even the people that only know of you guys are also just super cool like I met with the severance brothers uh drew yeah I don't know if they're called that but drew and will sevy bros at chick filet and like I've been telling people this like that was the most fast-paced conversation I've ever had they just keep going and going and going but it was like I don't even understand half the things they said but man yeah I mean, after that, I just felt like ready to run through a wall after that conversation. Oh, yeah, like just, I'm pumped to be here.

It seems like people are going to be really supportive and then went to table setters yesterday as well, despite not being an LLC owner quite yet. That'll happen next month. That'll happen next month. But I'm really excited for it. Yeah, man. It's awesome. Welcome. Appreciate it.

That's right. It's always fun. Yeah, I'd have people move to KC. Yeah. Yeah, you guys have the main reason. Like, honestly, like, if I didn't watch Jake on YouTube, with a juggler seven years ago

I probably wouldn't be here trust me, Cully? Trust me, Polly? Sidebar, I saw that well,

no, that's not true. I saw some, like, video that Josh Horton was like, why I quit YouTube. But then he's like,

I'm coming back kind of thing. Yeah, yeah. I think it's just like, it's not making money. It's hard to make YouTube videos. Right.

So he stopped for a while. He's like, all right. I'm trying one more time. Yeah. This is it. What are they going to say about all that? Oh,

somebody. yesterday at table centers. So like table centers, we had a decent group yesterday. So we split up into three different like smaller groups. Koli was in my group.
